How? Heat and quench? I’ve never heat hardened steel for the actual purpose of hardening.Those bars are soft (unhardened) they machine quite nicely with HSS bits. You harden these after you machine them.
Also, what grade of tool steel? When I look it up, seems there are 5 different grades with different properties…
